Vaping In The News – February 19th-25th, 2017
This weeks collection of Vaping In The News includes Tobacco Control BMJ, Censorship, Steve Forbes, Refreshing Journalism, CASAA / HR1136, Bill Godshall, Cole-Bishop HR1136 Canada and Vlad The Vaper.
I won’t bore you with my usual (insert witty and thought-provoking editorial comment here) views on it all, so let us get straight to Vaping In The News:
Impugning
This week, much to my amusement, Tobacco Control BMJ finds itself in the hot seat when (it) wanted to assert take control. “They” decided to take some to task with this sad example of a scream test in their own echo chamber.
Blog fog? Using rapid response to advance science and promote debate
Like watching a train wreck, one co-author tweeted taunted this:
“We intend to post all eLetters approved by the Editor within 7-14 days, which must contribute substantially to the topic however it is at our absolute discretion whether we publish and timeframes cannot be guaranteed.”
Say what?
I was intrigued with an article written by Gary Wood here (with audio)
Government Silences Vape Shop Owners in the US
I wasn’t surprised with the quality of the article, having seen this a few days before:
Why Vaping is Safer in the UK than in the US
Keep that up, Mr. Wood, and thank you.
Forbes
Steve Forbes, (Yes, him) who has written before about the issues at hand, has another article:
“…a perverse mind-set reigns among health regulators and fanatical antismoking crusaders…”
President Trump’s Deregulators Should Tell The FDA’s Anti-Vaping Jihadists to Butt Out
Refreshing
A Writer at FEE, the Foundation for Economic Education, Brittany Hunter has written
This Could Be the Last Stand for Vaping. It is refreshing to see a journalist taking time to see the whole picture.
I’ve seen Brittany before on Twitter here with
Teenagers Say No to Drugs and Tobacco, Yes to Vaping
